I have a 12 volt sharpner but I don't know the file or grinder bit size for the chain.

Turn it on and hold a knife sharpening steel or super fine diamond file to match the back bevel of blade for 15 seconds or so. Don't sharpen the face of the blade or it won't cut straight.

I use a small file designed for saw chains...I used the same file on my Stehl as my B and D..chain is the same size link..just shorter.

I recently bought one and yes 3 discs which will sharpen any chain.The largest disc is for harvester chain which is what Im using it for.

Took mine to the Garden Center, charged me $5.00 to sharpen and did a good job, thought that was even cheaper than buying the file, but it was (something) /32 can't remember. Their machine sharpened it in about 3 minutes very sharp.

3/8 chain takes a 7/32 carbide cutter...same as the equivalent in a file....

I use a Dremel with grinding bit the size needed for the chain. At one point, perhaps 3 sharpenings, I have it done professionally to have it back to perfect. It's quick and I can do a reasonable job.

Yes - I believe this is the chain your looking for: Black & Decker 6-Inch Replacement Saw Chain RC600 (For LP1000 and NLP1800 Alligator Loppers) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)You might consider sharpening the existing chain your self. You'll need 4.5 mm chain saw file.I really like this tool!

Hmm, a bigger stem, sayeth Lydia. This is a job for your chainsaw file. (You can sharpen up your box grater while your at it.) If you don't have a chain saw file, please get one. They're invaluable, even for those not blessed with a chainsaw.

My hardware store sharpens the chain for $4. per chain, so I have them do it. I'm sure the box tells you this, perhaps you can zoom onto the box prior to buying the chain.

You can buy a chain sharpening kit relatively cheap at a hardware store that includes a file and a guide for the proper angle to file the chain teeth which is important. The sharpening instructions are pretty clear and easy to follow.

.325 is the length of the chain links, you need to determine how the cutters were ground, that will tell you what size file or burr to get.

5/32 is the correct size file, but it uses a Oregon bar and chain so you can see that size file recommended on the replacement chain packaging (i double checked). I consider myself thrifty, but as cheap as these shorter length chains are, several years ago, when i get one dull, i just put on a new one. Sometimes i could sharpen one decent, other times saw would cut crooked. You will inadvertently get into some nails or other metal (rocks are bad enough) and when it happens, you saw will just quit cutting. Hope it helps. Very nice saw - sure like mine.

You can use any size as long as you have your chain fit the size of the bar. If it don't fit the bar you can have links added or taken away.
